1968 was the year in which I was born, in the small town of Kingston, Ontario. I had no formal training in photography, but from a young age exhibited the natural ability of a good eye. At the age of 12 my father brought me my first 35mm camera, from that point I turned this ability into a way for me to channel my creative side.
In the beginning my photographs were merely snaps and fairly bland, and unfocused, but with the help of a friend I learned to ’see’ and understand how to create an image. I was helped to find beauty in the simplest of things. I like quite stark, minimalist images, you can see that the focus of my work is architectural photography, landscape and still life and black and white does this perfectly. I am venturing into digital and color, and you can see some of the work I have done in my “Digital Gallery”. I held my first showing last year called “Europa”, it focused on my trip to Prague and Berlin in 2003. It was from that show that I was encouraged to continue sharing my photography with others.
